30MC - 2/01/02
Howard Butz:
Parker, Geddings and Starr ... one big match but right now, here comes Chris
Cortez and he doesn't look happy.
Raoul: Of course not. Would you be happy if your mind was turned inside out by
that ... that ... harlot?
Howard Butz: With Cortez carrying a chair, I think I'd be careful what I said
around him. Here comes his opponent, Chip for our first match.
Raoul: Intervention.
[Dropping to a knee in the middle of the ring, Cortez says a silent prayer as
Chip and Shorti make their way from the back.]
Howard Butz: No Lars for your little intervention?
Raoul: SHHHHH ... Shorti's about to speak!
[Stepping into the ring, both Shorti and Chip keep some distance from Cortez.]
Shorti: I've been sent out here by Lars for an intervention. He's worried about
you Christopher. He's worried that you've been left out here all alone with no
one in your corner. He says, you don't need this ...
Howard Butz: Does that mean there's not going to be a match?
Raoul: SHHHHH!
Shorti: Lars wants you to know that you're not alone. You have not been left to
fend for yourself. You are not alone.
[Dropping his defenses, Cortez looks down, nodding his head to Shorti's words.]
Shorti: He promises he can make it all better for you, just come away from the
ring with us. It's for your own good. Pretty in Pink will NEVER leave you like
that bitch of yours I ran out of here!
Howard Butz: WHOA! Shorti knows how to win over people.
Raoul: OH MY!
[Nodding his head, Cortez holds out a hand for the mic.]
Chris Cortez: I think you're right.
Howard Butz: WHOA! Cortez bought into this?
Raoul: Bought in? Lars is genuinely concerned for the dear boy.
Chris Cortez: I don't need this. I NEED THIS!
[Spinning around, Cortez slams the mic into Chip's head, knocking him to the mat
in surprise. Throwing down his weapon, he scoops up his chair and advances on
the retreating Shorti.]
Howard Butz: I THINK WE HAVE A MATCH!
[Stalking around the ring, following Shorti, Cortez is joined inside the ring by
referee Robin who calls for the bell.]
CHRIS CORTEZ
versus
CHIP
*** Ding *** Ding ***
Howard Butz: WE DO
HAVE A MATCH!
Raoul: This has gone horribly wrong! WHERE IS LARS?
Rearing with his chair, Cortez gets into a tug of war with the ref who grabs the
weapon from behind. Warning him sternly, he finally relents, going to the boots
instead on his downed opponent.
Raoul: They were supposed to hug and make-up then leave the ring together. This
is just awful! DON'T DO IT CHRISTOPHER!
Pulling Chip to his feet, Cortez sends him off across the ring, taking hinm down
with a spinning heel kick on the return. Climbing to the top. Cortez waits for
Chip to get up but Shorti has other ideas as she shakes the ropes, causing him
to crotch himself. In pain, he falls to the canvas.
Howard Butz: Shorti now getting a warning from the ref.
A confused Chip looks for some direction from Raoul while Shorti eggs him on to
destroy Cortez. Pulled to his feet, Cortez nails Chip in the bulbous belly with
a knee. Not having an effect, Cortez hits the middle rope, coming off with a
back elbow that lands solidly.
Raoul: Get out of there, Shorti!
A two count is all Cortez gets. Throwing himself back against the ropes, he
comes in with a drop kick to Chip's head as he struggles to stand.
Howard Butz: BOOT TO HEAD!
Raoul: HE'S GOING FOR THE CHAIR!
Grabbing up the chair, he throws it down on top of the prone Chip despite
warnings from the ref. Sitting down, he lands a leg drop with a loud clang
before sliding out of the ring and chasing Shorti. The ref's intervention cuts
him off.
Raoul: This is all so horribly wrong!
Another whip into the ropes leads to a hurricanrana on the return. Rolling with
the momentum out of the ring and into the comfort of Shorti's arms. A suicide
dive sends Chip to the hard floor as Shorti bails.
Howard Butz: The fighting's carried out of the ring as Cortez keeps up the
pressure.
A whip into the ring barrier is followed by a clothesline that seems to have
little effect. Stepping back, Cortez gives Chip enough room to fall flat on his
face.
Howard Butz: Robin is arguing with Cortez to take it back into the ring. OH!
The male portion of the audience winces in pain as Shorti hits with a low blow
from behind. The move brings an immediate warning from the ref.
Raoul: I just can't bare to watch. How could she do that?
Staggering off, Chip is grabbed from behind by a pained Cortez. Rolled back into
the ring, Chip is left while Cortez tries to shake off the blow.
Howard Butz: THAT has got to hurt.
Raoul: Maybe I can rub it for him. Get the circulation flowing again ... that
always helps.
Howard Butz: YOU SIT RIGHT THERE!
With a whip into the ropes, Chip shoots back towards Cortez who falls over in
pain as he tries to strike with the Mic Check.
Howard Butz: CORTEZ WITH THE MIC CHECK! NO! HE CAN'T GET THE LEG UP!
Raoul: I need to rub it!
Getting back to his feet, Cortez is barely able to get the leg up for a front
kick. Doubling Chip over, Cortez underhooks his arms before dropping to his
knees and slamming his opponent's face into the mat.
Howard Butz: THE CHART TOPPER! ONE! TWO! THREE! THIS ONE'S OVER!
***Ding *** Ding ***
[Grabbing his chair, Cortez staggers off to the back. Before leaving, he crosses himself then points at Shorti.]
